Fermions do not travel together, theory proved
Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot "travel" in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d'optique (CNRS/Université Paris 11, Orsay-Palaiseau), this result is described in detail in the January 25, 2007 issue of Nature. It marks a major advance in our understanding of phenomena at a quantum scale. view more (2007-03-12)
Rare cancer-causing syndrome found, for the first time, in Singapore
A rare hereditary disorder that strongly predisposes carriers to develop cancer at an early age has been found in an Asian female, report researchers today at the American Association for Cancer Research Centennial Conference on Translational Cancer Medicine. view more (2007-11-05)
Stereotyping Aggression
It has been suggested that indirect aggression (e.g. spreading rumors, backbiting etc.) is more acceptable in female social circles. But is this aggression understood differently when carried out by men? Sarah Coyne, of the University of Central Lancashire, will be talking about this issue today, Friday 16 April 2004, at the British Psychological... view more... (2004-04-16)
Parents of twins report more mental health symptoms than parents of singletons
Mothers and fathers of twins conceived either spontaneously or with assisted reproductive technology (ART) suffer more mental health symptoms after delivery and one year later than do parents of singleton babies. view more (2008-07-08)
Story ideas surrounding the eclipse
Sun cults: New research indicates that the origin of Apollo, the Greek sun God, is to be found in northern Europe and not in Middle East as previously thought. Furthermore, the Ancient Greeks saw solar eclipses as a display of "Girl Power!", according to Roger Doonan, from Bournemouth University. The ancient Greeks would have explained the eclipse... view more... (1999-08-09)
Study by LIJ obstetrician confirms taller women are more likely to have twins
An obstetrician who specializes in multiple-birth pregnancies has confirmed that taller women are more likely to have twins. view more (2006-09-25)
Chronic fatigue syndrome impairs a person's slow wave activity during sleep
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been associated with altered amounts of slow wave sleep, which could reflect reduced electroencephalograph (EEG) activity and impaired sleep regulation. view more (2007-05-01)
Twins study shows genetic basis for face and place recognition
New evidence suggests our brains are hardwired before birth to recognize faces and places. But in contrast, the neural circuitry we use to recognize words develops mainly as a result of experience. view more (2007-12-20)
Persistent smokers may have higher risk to become depressed than never smokers
Based on a Finnish study, persistent smokers may have higher risk to become depressed in comparison to never smokers. view more (2007-05-22)
The penalty of having a sister — why sibling sex matters for male saiga antelopes
Having a twin sister could put male saiga antelopes at a reproductive disadvantage, says new research published today. The study shows that male twins with a sister are born lighter than those with a brother, making them smaller than the optimal size for males. view more (2007-03-07)
USC researchers find new clues to risk of Hodgkin lymphoma
A long-term study of twins has led University of Southern California (USC) researchers to find potential links between Hodgkin lymphoma and levels of an immune response protein (interleukin-12). view more (2008-04-02)
Resetting epigenetic code could aid lupus patients
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Virginia hope to reset part of the "epigenetic code" in lupus patients and thus improve treatment. view more (2005-11-08)
Size of a woman's uterus can predict whether she is at risk of having very premature twins after IVF
Using ultrasound to measure the height of a woman's uterus is a good way to predict whether or not she is at risk of having babies born prematurely if she becomes pregnant with twins after IVF. view more (2008-07-09)
Animals that seem identical may be completely different species
Animals that seem identical may belong to completely different species. This is the conclusion of researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who have used DNA analyses to discover that one of our most common segmented worms is actually two types of worm. The result is one of many suggesting that the variety of species on the earth could... view more... (2009-04-23)
Benchmark fetal surgery study finds timeliness to be critical factor in success of treatment
It's one of the biggest controversies in fetal surgery and the cause of heated debate among surgeons and maternal-fetal medicine physicians around the world: What's the best way to treat twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), one of the most common conditions requiring fetal surgery and the leading cause of mortality in twins? view more (2007-02-12)
Obesity chokes up the cellular power plant
The machinery responsible for energy production in fat cells is working poorly as a result of obesity. Finnish research done at the University of Helsinki and the National Public Health Institute shows that this may aggravate and work to maintain the obese state in humans. view more (2008-03-13)
Rethinking the genetic theory of inheritance
Scientists at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have detected evidence that DNA may not be the only carrier of heritable information; a secondary molecular mechanism called epigenetics may also account for some inherited traits and diseases. view more (2009-01-20)
People with higher IQs make wiser economic choices, U of Minnesota study finds
People with higher measures of cognitive ability are more likely to make good choices in several different types of economic decisions, according to a new study with researchers from the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities and Morris campuses. view more (2009-04-28)
Better training needed to reduce emergency caesareans
Many emergency caesareans could be prevented by the attendance of a more skilled obstetrician. view more (2006-09-22)
Frantic activity revealed in dusty stellar factories
Thanks to the Very Large Telescope's acute and powerful near-infrared eye, astronomers have uncovered a host of new young, massive and dusty stellar nurseries in nearby galaxy NGC 253. The centre of this galaxy appears to harbour a twin of our own Milky Way's supermassive black hole. view more (2009-01-21)
